Barcelona Drink – Club Astoria
I’ve always considered Club Astoria as a neighborhood “go to” club over the winter months. Weekend nights typically generate a nice crowd of people, the majority locals and young professionals, who want to be out for a fun night of dancing. The setting itself is quite ornate and expansive, with sumptuous velvet lounging spaces and…

Barcelona Drink – Nuba
When the beautiful people of Barcelona head indoors for the cooler months, this is where you’ll find them. Located in the ritzy Sant Gervasi neighborhood, Nuba is 100% local in the know, as it’s rarely recommended by hotel concierges due to it’s location a bit too far “por arriba” or up the hill, however well worth…

Barcelona Drink – Bar Pastis
I discovered Bar Pastis, in The Raval neighborhood of Barcelona, this past summer while dating a half French half Catalan television producer.

Cancun – Playing With Fire
Politicians are a little like fire, if you choose to play with them, you’ll most likely get burned.

These days, I’m pretty certain that I know what I’m talking about when it comes to food, and Italian is one of my most frequented cuisines.

I guess I’ll never get enough chances to explore my adopted hometown and it’s inhabitants, although this time, the extent of my stay was a bit unplanned.
